Suresh Raina is a former Indian international cricketer and one of India's prominent white-ball players. A left-handed middle-order batter, useful off-spin bowler and outstanding fielder, Raina was part of India's 2011 World Cup-winning team. His career included major contributions across international cricket and the Indian Premier League.
Bharat Sundaresan is an award-winning cricket writer based in Adelaide, Australia. He has worked as the Australian correspondent and senior writer for Cricbuzz and previously spent more than a decade covering cricket around the world for The Indian Express. He is also the author of The Dhoni Touch.
Believe traces Suresh Raina’s journey from his formative years as a young cricketer to the demanding world of international cricket. Raina describes the difficulties he encountered along the way, including bullying at school and cricket camps, and explains how he learned to respond to adversity rather than give up.
Alongside personal memories, Raina shares lessons gained from influential figures in Indian cricket, including M.S. Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly. The memoir presents cricket not merely as a sport but as a source of lessons about discipline, friendship, resilience, hard work and hope.
